In Review: November 2017

We continue our look back at the 2017-18 season, with the Iron beginning November in fifth position.

With United safely through to round two of the Checkatrade Trophy, attentions turned to the Emirates FA Cup, along with the league programme. The two coincided in such a way that Northampton would be the opponents on three occasions during the month, with two trips to the Sixfields Stadium.

NORTHAMPTON TOWN 0-0 IRON

The month started with the Emirates FA Cup, with the Iron once again paired with a fellow League One side in round one.

They’d be scheduled to visit the Sixfields Stadium just a fortnight later in the league, with this encounter also requiring a replay at Glanford Park following a goalless draw.

With a number of fine strikes over the course of the very successful month for the Iron.

However the winner of goal of the month was never in doubt as the pendulum swung back in favour of Josh Morris. While his free-kick just two minutes earlier could have been a contender, there was no denying his so-called weaker foot strike from 25-yards, curling into the top corner against Charlton Athletic wasn’t the one to top the pile.

Incidentally, the strike was also voted as the club’s goal of the season at the Awards Evening.
